Baglioni Chapel, Renaissance chapel in Spello, Italy
The Baglioni Chapel features three large frescoes depicting the Annunciation, Adoration of the Shepherds, and Jesus among the Doctors within Santa Maria Maggiore church.
Troilo Baglioni, a papal protonotary and church prior, commissioned the chapel's decoration by Pinturicchio, which was completed in October 1501.
Four female prophets known as Sibyls decorate the vaulted ceiling, accompanied by cartouches containing prophecies about the arrival of Jesus Christ.
Visitors can observe Pinturicchio's self-portrait in the lower right corner of the Annunciation fresco, marked with an inscription of his birth name.
The chapel's floor incorporates Deruta ceramics added in the late 16th century, complementing the Renaissance frescoes that cover the walls and ceiling.
